Greetings,
I read the newcomers blurb and it was wonderful. I am on my second week of doxy and just finished 5 days of azithro. I feel that I have had lyme for a while now meaning that I'm not hopeful with the doxy. What should I be looking into?? I could really use your help and appreciate it so much! If anything can you list things that made a huge improvement for you?

Bella Rosso, Do you know the one thing that Lyme Disease loves more than collagen? give up?
PESSIMISM!

Yes, you can take all the medicine in the world but if you are pessimistic, you will never get better. Doxy works well for Lyme, no matter how long you have been infected. And if it doesn't work for you, then you move to minocycline, Amoxicillin, IV Rosephin, etc, etc.

The best way to beat Lyme, its co-infections and all else is to say to yourself (as loud as you can scream it!) "I hate Lyme, I am sick of all this...I am going to kick your butt!"

You then find yourself a good LLMD, learn as much as you can about the disease, and go at it.

You are at war and Lyme is the enemy. Study it, anticipate its moves, block its supplies, starve it, make it impossible for it to live, and then....kill it!!

Welcome Bella Rosso,

Glad to have you join us, sorry that you need to join us. I hope that you'll feel welcomed, and find many helpful ideas, suggestions, and support. Don't hesitate to ask, or vent, and I suggest you try out the "search" button, as there are lots of past posts on every subject/question.

My personal experience with doing my part in getting healthy/healed form Lyme/co, is a healthy diet. What's 'my healthy' might not be 'your' healthy, so finding out what that is for you might be a good start. I found I do much better on limiting my grains/carbs, all sugars (except local honey in moderation), all processed foods and as much organic vegetables as possible, local free range/grain free meats, raw dairy.

When I eat this way, I'm full, and I feel much better. When I indulge in sugary, floury and/or empty foods/pre-made I feel really crappy (worse than usual), in my body and in my mind/emotions. It's usually the next day, too. It seems to take a while to have me start feeling the inflammation/pain. yuck.

Hang in there, hope you find your path and welcome.

Detoxing is the #1 thing that made a huge difference for me.

The #2 thing was supporting the bodily functions that weren't.... well, functioning. Adrenals, thyroid, intestines, struggling liver/kidneys/spleen and more.

Then came my diet and the lemon water.

Whatever you choose to use to treat the actual infections, I feel that those things are a must.

Also keep in mind that having co-infections and/or mold issues can hold back any progress.

No matter what you decide to try, be sure to go slowly!! Only add in one new thing every 3 or 4 days (or longer in between), so that if something doesn't work well or you should have a reaction, you will know immediately what did it and you can stop it right away.

Best of luck!!! I do hope you have a great weekend as well! :-)
